The British had a large government to take care of the British elites, the dukes, earls and those of royal blood. In America, after our revolution, liberals wanted small government . When liberals became the government and realized the government that helped the dukes and earls could help ordinary Americans they changed their view on government. Liberals then began to use government to aid the common folk and are still in that mode. Conservatives still believe in helping the elites, now the wealthy. The size of government is not part of any ideology but a means to an end .Not true. The founders that you claim were soooooo "liberal" insisted on liberty. Including the right for everyone to be armed everywhere. Does that sound like the "core" of liberals today? Does it?The core beliefs of liberalism do not change much, but what does change is the means and methods to achieve liberalism. Those means and methods are such things as the size of government.Right? What a shame that it morphed into something so evil, so disgusting, and so oppressive.Or as General MacArthur said: "For the framers of the Constitution were the most liberal thinkers of all the ages and the charter they produced out of the liberal revolution of their time has never been and is not now surpassed in liberal thought."
The founders hat you claim were sooooo "liberal" insisted on an extremely small and limited federal government. Does that sound like the "core" of liberals today? Be honest.
Rather than just making stuff up (as you did there) you should relly read the original writings by the founders. I have and none of them talked about using government to "help" anyone. That is not the function of government and that is not why our founders established their own government.When liberals became the government and realized the government that helped the dukes and earls could help ordinary Americans they changed their view on government.

Of course it is not why the founders established their own government but many felt it was a duty of government to help those in distress. Or as Jefferson said: "The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government."Rather than just making stuff up (as you did there) you should relly read the original writings by the founders.

No. Really. They didn't. At all. They were quite clear on that. You continue to make stuff up. In fact, the first idiot I'm aware of to make that case for the federal government was Abraham Lincoln.Of course it is not why the founders established their own government but many felt it was a duty of government to help those in distress.

(Psst....he wasn't a "founder". He came along almost 100 years later).
Notice he said "public authority" and not "federal government"? A subtle, yet crucial distinction. The federal government is limited to 18 enumerated powers and creating jobs or helping people is not one of them."To provide employment for the poor and support for the indigent is among the primary and at the same time not the least difficult cares of the public authority," James Madison

You might check out Marbury v Madison, when the Court took the power unto themselves. I think every high school kid is supposed to learn this.
The Constitution does not make it clear that the Supreme Court has the power of Judicial Review which is why the Marshall Court had to have a trial in which the Court could declare that it has the power. Your quote on Article 3 says nothing about judicial review.What a bizarre twist on reality. Marbury vs. Madison is 100% in line with the U.S. Constitution.

Does Congress not make laws? Does the Constitution not make it clear that judicial power exists to all cases, in law and equity, the laws of the United States?!? What part are you confused by here. You're trying to proclaim that something which reaffirms my position somehow proves your position. Bizarre.
